Testimonials
My initial contact with Michael was as a participant in the Oneness Meditation Group he hosted after moving to Washington. He always started the evening with a guided meditation that took me quite deep, which induced a profound calming and a sense of connection to something greater than “The Self,” even beyond what was usual for me. On occasion, some interesting insights and experiences surfaced during the meditations as well. We always had the regular hands-on-the-head Energy Transfer, but there were several times we also had the energy work from the eyes and some special events for deeper experiences and insight. Regular Oneness Blessings, for me, somehow manages to still the ‘monkey mind’ that previously chattered constantly. Now I can find that quiet place even alone. The special exercises in Oneness can lead to some pretty profound insights and deeper healing of childhood and ancestral issues.
Michael has a very gentle energy when he is leading meditations, coaching, and doing his healing work. This is very conducive to accessing and healing early childhood issues that are ready to surface for a deeper level of healing, changing faulty belief systems, releasing the emotional impact of traumas, and reframing self esteem issues in ways to foster self acceptance. He holds the space and allows whatever is ready to surface, to be dealt with and healed in a safe environment. With his intent he assists that which is held in the emotional and cellular memory to release, as well as being relaxing and non-threatening. This creates an environment for a shift, which allows the body to move toward balance where it can heal itself.
My own shifts and healing from working with Michael, beyond the realm of Oneness practices, have been profound. Huge insights came from deep within me that identified early childhood belief systems that were faulty and were blocking my life. Michael held the space for me to do the uprooting and processing. He would gently ask me some questions that would allow me to decide to take a tiny step closer to that “aha moment” when the bug in the operating system of my life, running quietly in the background, creating the same play with different actors could finally be identified and that bug could at long last be fixed and a different, better play could run on the main stage of my life. I could start to move forward and make progress toward that which I wanted to create or attract in my life.
I am most grateful for the changes within me that Michael has facilitated.

My experience with Michael is in us both being Oneness Trainers from the Oneness University in India. Michael and I were in India together in the early stages of unfolding of the Oneness University. This in itself is a testimony to Michael's innovative character. To be on the cutting edge of this phenomenon required vision, faith, and a strong character.
I worked along with Michael at many Oneness Events, offering profound processes and teachings that were part of the Oneness University Programs. Michael has a gentle strength and ability to lead and initiate new ideas and groups. Michael has a way to make those around him better people, by believing in them himself. Michael was a great help to me in times when I needed a strong peer for support, especially in times when we both had to find our own way.
Most of all I can say that Michael is someone who is creative and innovative and gets things done. I believe he can inspire those qualities in others, as he has inspired me. Michael is someone with many talents and a beautiful heart who is very naturally finding ways to help others. Michael has a deep and profound insight into life that can be very grounding and supportive when helping others discover and put into motion changes in their lives. Michael has done this for himself, in many ways navigating through change, and bringing a new vision into reality.

"As a friend and colleague, Michael has supported me over the years in growing into the leader I am today. His demonstrated leadership in the Oneness community is something I learned from as I developed my own. His charismatic presence and care for others brought a large community together in San Francisco. When he passed the baton to me and trusted me with the group, he continued to coach me on how to run the group, how to handle interpersonal dynamics with other leaders and participants and how to grow myself as a leader and teacher in this community. Michael’s belief and support in me allowed me to step into something that I didn’t have the full confidence to do on my own. As a result, I successfully grew this group and went on to lead groups and teams in other arenas.
Michael has also coached me through career decisions and transitions, health challenges and relationship issues with friends, family and partners. I’m grateful for the life experience, depth and creativity he brought into his coaching. I’ve witnessed him do this for others and he has been a solid and trustworthy source of support for many. He brings qualities of strength, determination and follow-through to his work as well as a style of direct but caring communication that allows for forward motion and clarity. He is also gifted in seeing the larger picture and bringing meaning to any challenge or transition. I’ve turned to Michael in all kinds of situations and he has always been willing to listen and help me. As a result, I’ve grown tremendously as a person and as a leader in the years of being mentored and guided by Michael. Anyone going through a transition and looking for transformational coaching would be fortunate to have his guidance."

"In the 3+ years I've known Michael, he has provided guidance and mentorship, which have helped me greatly through life's journey.
I've worked in the IT industry for almost 10 years. For me, the fast-paced and demanding nature of the industry often means high pressure and high stress. This, coupled with the normal challenges faced in everyday life, had started to take their toll over time. I was depressed and generally down. I was always mourning the past or fretting about the future, and I could rarely live in the present. I was generally not enjoying life.
Michael's guidance and mentorship have helped shift my perspective and given me the tools I need to grow and improve myself. This has allowed me to approach life's challenges in a completely different and (for me) far more positive manner. I've grown to love and accept myself more than ever before and, in turn, have grown to accept and deepen my love for the world around me. This impact has been enormous and radiates through all aspects of my life. This cannot be overstated. Love and accepting oneself is critical to true peace and happiness. Michael was able to help me understand this and take steps towards achieving it.
Michael brings a range of experiences which are both broad and deep. This gives him a unique perspective many lack. Specifically, because of his diverse background, Michael is able to relate to people truly and compassionately in ways few others can. I've experienced this first hand, and have witnessed it many times with others. In addition to this, Michael is pragmatic and grounded yet open-minded and often profound. He is dedicated and thorough in his research and he is resolute yet kind-hearted in his administration. These characteristics were very important to me as I am often quite skeptical, sometimes to the point of cynicism and these are why I always felt confident working with Michael.
However cliche it may be, life truly is about the journey and not the destination. As such, the search for true peace and happiness is always a work in progress. The key differentiator for me is that I now enjoy the journey more than I ever did before and it's only improving with practice. I consider myself very fortunate to have met Michael and to be able to call him my friend."
